Chapter 3: Getting Started with Bounty Hunters
Aunt Liu chatted with the neighbors, the sun gradually rose higher and higher, the fruits and vegetables on the stalls were decreasing, but the copper horns and silver dollars in the money bag were increasing.
Today is lucky, in the morning, the fruit was sold.
"Mr. Chen, let's take a sip of water." Aunt Liu graciously handed over a kettle.
Mr. Chen is really his own lucky star, usually business was not so good, but today when Mr. Chen came, the business was too good, and it was really a blessing of the dead New Year.
Chen Chao took the kettle and took a sip, looked up at the sun, turned his face sideways and said, "Aunt Liu, it's not too early, there is no business at this time, I can take care of the stall alone, you take the child to the hospital to have another look." ”
"Okay, then I'll come when I go, thank you!" Aunt Liu is sincerely grateful, Mr. Chen is really a good person, and he has helped him so much since last night.
"Thank you, Aunt Liu, you can rest assured."
After Aunt Liu left with the child, Chen Chao stayed alone in front of the fruit stall to take care of it for a while, and when hunger just came from his stomach, he saw Aunt Liu arrive with a vegetable basket.
"Mr. Chen is hungry, I didn't have time to fry a few vegetarian dishes." Aunt Liu said as she brought out a few side dishes, put them on the wooden board under the parasol, took out four silver dollars from the money bag and stuffed them to Chen Chao, and said to him: "There is a restaurant at the corner of the street in front, you go buy some cooked meat, and then get a bottle of wine." ”
Chen Chao sold fruits all morning, and he already knew the price of goods in this world, one copper dollar is equivalent to one dollar in modern times, one copper horn is equivalent to five yuan in modern times, and a piece of ocean is equivalent to twenty yuan.
Aunt Liu gave four oceans of money to buy wine and meat, which is at least equivalent to eighty yuan in modern times, of course, it is only equivalent to the price of goods, and the price of housing is not yet known.
It only sold less than ten oceans in one morning, and now Aunt Liu took out four oceans at once for Chen Chao to buy wine, which made Chen Chao really a little embarrassed.
"Aunt Liu, this can't be helped, there are rice, there are vegetarian dishes, it's enough to be full, I've made enough trouble, I can't use your money anymore." Chen Chao said that he was unwilling to accept the four oceans.
Aunt Liu pretended to be angry and said, "Mr. Chen, what are you talking about?" Obviously, the two of us are causing you trouble, you have been helping me since last night, and you have helped me watch the stall all morning, and I don't invite you to eat a pot of wine or meat, then I am not worthy of being a housewife. Mr. Chen, if you still look up to me as a woman, you will definitely have to accept this money. ”
Aunt Liu's tone was non-negotiable.
Chen Chao really had no choice but to agree: "Okay, then I'll be respectful and obey." ”
……
Chen Chao came to the Fu Ji Restaurant at the corner of the street with four oceans in his hand, and was about to go in to buy wine and cut meat, when suddenly, whoosh!
A figure flew out of the door of the restaurant, fell to the ground with a pop, and fell in front of Chen Chao.
Before Chen Chao could figure out what was going on, several shopkeepers rushed out of the door of the restaurant one after another, grabbed the man on the ground and punched and kicked him.
Chen Chao was not calm for a moment, what kind of operation is this beating in broad daylight?
Chen Chao hurriedly stepped forward to stop it and shouted, "What's the matter with you? Lang Lang Qiankun, why did you beat people? Is there still a royal law, is there still a law? ”
The shopkeeper walked up to Chen Chao, glanced at him with slanted eyes, and said to him: "You also asked us if we have the king's law and the law, so this guy doesn't pay for his meals and doesn't buy for his drinks, is it illegal, should he be beaten?" ”
"Eat a bully meal?" Chen Chao finally figured out the reason why the unlucky guy lying on the ground was beaten, but looking at the unlucky guy's outfit, he didn't look like a person who couldn't afford to eat and drink.
The unfortunate bastard, with his shoulder-length hair in a very artistic style, dressed in purple, with a sword hanging from his waist, and a western cowboy hat, was so tall that he couldn't afford to pay for a few dollars of wine and meat.
Perhaps the shopkeeper thinks like many people, if he is a beggar, he will not give him food and drink for nothing.
"Shopkeeper, may I ask this friend how much he ate in total?" Chen Chao asked, since he has already intervened, then he must not stand by anymore, and it is not Chen Chao's personality to stand by and watch.
"What, you're going to pay for him?" The shopkeeper glanced at the unlucky guy on the ground, the guy was drunk, and he still didn't know why he was lying on the ground.
"He drank three jugs of wine, plus a table of dishes, a total of four oceans." The shopkeeper said as he looked at Chen Chao.
Chen Chao nodded, three pots of wine plus a table of dishes are only four oceans, the boss didn't ask for much, but this guy can really drink it, he drank three pots of wine alone......
Chen Chao looked at the unlucky guy on the ground and was really a little speechless.
After thinking about it, Chen Chao finally paid the four oceans he was holding in his hand to the shopkeeper.
"Lucky kid, don't let us see you again next time!" The shopkeeper said a cruel word to the unlucky guy on the ground, and beckoned the shopkeeper to enter the door of the restaurant.
"Friend, are you alright?" Chen Chao just helped the drunk unlucky guy up, and the five-colored rope on his wrist suddenly flashed, and his reputation increased by 95, and the total of 150 was only 50 points away from the task given to him by the old man to earn 200 reputation.
"I didn't ...... It's okay...... Brothers...... Thank...... Thank you......" The unlucky guy thanked Chen Chao, although the other person was drunk, he was still conscious, and naturally understood what was going on.
The unlucky man patted Chen Chao on the shoulder, and said inarticulately: "Brother, I owe you a personal favor...... Come to the day, the next day will be repaid ......" After speaking, he walked away with three shakes.
"An Pingyuan? What a personality name......" Chen Chao was pondering this very unique name when he suddenly snapped, and something fell from An Pingyuan's body.
"Hey, man, you've dropped something!" Chen Chao hurriedly picked up the thing, and looked at it, it turned out to be a gold token, with four large seal characters on it, "Bounty Hunter", and a pattern representing the highest authority of the royal family on the back, and the style of the pattern was exactly the same as the seal on the draft decree issued by the Queen Mother on the city wall.
Although he didn't know what this thing was used for and what its origin was, subconsciously Chen Chao felt that this token was very valuable, and after catching up with An Pingyuan, he immediately returned it to him.
"Thank you." An Pingyuan hung the token on his waist again, covered it with his clothes, and hugged his fist to Chen Chao: "Brother, there will be a period later." ”
Seeing An Ping move away, Chen Chao shook his head and returned to the fruit stall empty-handed.
When Aunt Liu saw Chen Chao coming back empty-handed, she immediately cast an unknown gaze and asked, "Mr. Chen, aren't you going to buy wine and meat?" How to ......"
